The first synthesis of nikkomycin Z is described. An improvement of the isoxazoline-based methodology and an effective method for protection of 1b were devised. The application of oxalyditriazole (23) for peptide coupling proved most effective in completing the synthesis. A new and efficient synthesis of the prerequisite pyridyl E-olefin (5) is also described.
